2013《財富》最具影響力的女創(chuàng)業(yè)家

利拉?詹納

? 公司：撒馬源公司

? 年齡：31歲

2008年，詹納作為顧問與印度達拉維一家呼叫中心的員工進行了交流。達拉維是南亞最大的貧民窟。那名工人說有數(shù)以百萬計的無業(yè)村民具備有與他一樣的能力。詹納說：“我想：‘有沒有可能利用外包為數(shù)十億人每個人帶來幾美元，而不是為少數(shù)富人帶去數(shù)十億美元？’” 于是，她成立了撒馬源公司（Samasource），用這個高科技平臺幫助貧困的女性和年輕人獲得谷歌（Google）、商務(wù)社交媒體公司LinkedIn和微軟（Microsoft）等公司的數(shù)字項目。到目前為止，這個非盈利機構(gòu)已經(jīng)幫助16,000人脫離了貧困。近期，它還在美國成立了一個國內(nèi)項目SamaUSA，主要面向居住在舊金山的低收入學(xué)生。

? Company: Samasource

? Age: 31

In 2008, Janah talked to a call center worker from Dharavi, India, the largest slum in South Asia, while working as a consultant. The worker said there were millions of unemployed villagers as talented as he was. "I thought, 'What if outsourcing could generate a few dollars for billions of people, rather than billions of dollars for a wealthy few?'" Janah says. She went on to launch Samasource, a tech platform that connects impoverished women and youth with large corporations like Google, LinkedIn, and Microsoft to complete digital projects. To date, the non-profit has helped over 16,000 people rise above the poverty line and it recently launched SamaUSA, a domestic program for low-income students living in San Francisco.
